00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:01,770
- Hi, I'm Jason Binab,

2
00:00:01,770 --> 00:00:03,340
here in Oak Bay, British Columbia.

3
00:00:03,340 --> 00:00:05,130
I'm also the host of Black Press Media's

4
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:06,650
real estate television channel.

5
00:00:06,650 --> 00:00:08,810
We're gonna be talking about
all things real estate,

6
00:00:08,810 --> 00:00:10,260
so make sure you stay tuned.

7
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:12,010
This is gonna be an amazing season.

8
00:00:13,234 --> 00:00:15,816

9
00:00:15,816 --> 00:00:19,233
(electronic dance music)

10
00:00:20,275 --> 00:00:22,760
Hello, and welcome, I'm
Jason Binab of The Agency,

11
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,600
and welcome to 2802 Arbutus Road.

12
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,430
I wanted to show you
this home, this was built

13
00:00:27,430 --> 00:00:29,900
by Abstract Developments in 2008,

14
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:32,110
designed by Keith Baker,
a multi-award-winning,

15
00:00:32,110 --> 00:00:35,900
CARE Award-winning home,
and a fantastic example

16
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:38,690
of an open concept modern design.

17
00:00:38,690 --> 00:00:41,010
Now, I've been licensed since 2005,

18
00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:43,810
and I've seen a bit of
a shift in what people

19
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:45,810
are looking for and like everything,

20
00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:48,640
open concept versus
traditional is cyclical,

21
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,340
so in 2005 when I got licensed,

22
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:52,000
everything was about open concept.

23
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,640
You had to have no walls,
it was just all big,

24
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,790
one big space, this home
is a fantastic example

25
00:00:57,790 --> 00:01:01,490
of an open concept, yet it
does offer some separation

26
00:01:01,490 --> 00:01:03,340
and when you talk about traditional homes,

27
00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:07,630
we are seeing a shift back
to more of that open concept

28
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:09,180
in certain areas but also having

29
00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:10,890
that separate formal dining room

30
00:01:10,890 --> 00:01:12,840
and formal living room option.

31
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,450
Let's have a closer look inside this space

32
00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:16,853
so you can get an idea of
what I'm talking about.

33
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,960
One of the things you
wanna make sure that you do

34
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:21,950
if you're doing an open
concept is make sure

35
00:01:21,950 --> 00:01:25,460
that it's light and airy,
they've done a fantastic job here

36
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:28,640
with these oversize
ceilings, the vault in them,

37
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,970
lots of windows, upper
windows, really soaking in

38
00:01:31,970 --> 00:01:34,130
that natural sunlight and the ability

39
00:01:34,130 --> 00:01:36,660
for me to be sitting
here, looking at the chef

40
00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:38,880
in the kitchen, looking
at everybody dining,

41
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,830
so it gives you a little
bit of separation,

42
00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:42,883
yet you feel like you're
part of the action.

43
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,270
So if you're looking
to buy or sell a home,

44
00:01:48,270 --> 00:01:50,490
whether it's open concept or traditional,

45
00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:54,660
give me a call at 778-265-5552.

46
00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:55,660
Thank you very much.

48
00:02:00,585 --> 00:02:03,252
